FOX News ratings drop 21% year-to-year

Fox News dominated the cable news landscape in third quarter of 2010 and had the top 11 programs in cable news for the month of September, though the network was down -21% in Total Viewers and down -26% in younger viewers compared to Sept. 2009 (Total Day, Mon-Sun)


Total Day (Mon-Sun): 1.016m total/267k A25-54

Prime (Mon-Sun): 1.831m total/443k A25-54


“The O’Reilly Factor” was the top program in cable news, averaging more than 2.8 million Total Viewers and 680,000 A250-54 demo viewers, but the show was down -12% (Total Viewers) and -21% (demo) compared to Sept. 09. “Hannity,” “Glenn Beck,” ”Special Report” and “On the Record” rounded out the top five — but all shows were also down double digits compared to Sept. ’09.

I've been continually disgusted by conservative tweeters gloating about Fox ratings. It's nice to see a story that might hurt their feelers a little bit.

Not only are ratings down by 1/5 overall, but the average age of Fox News viewers is 65. Without comprehensive universal health care in America, the average Fox viewer will be dead within 15 years.

By the way, MSNBC numbers are up.
